Penelope Cruz Will Make a Great Donatella Versace—Here's Why
She can rock a smoky eye
Just like Donatella.
She looks great as a blonde
Image this wig just a little longer, and voilà, it's Ms. Versace.
She's got that sunkissed glow
It'll definitely help to have a naturally tan complexion for this role.
Versace Gowns Become Her

At first glance, casting Penélope Cruz as Donatella Versace in Ryan Murphy's latest American Crime Story series about the Versace murder might seem a bit far-fetched. But we think Cruz is an amazing pick—and not just for her stellar acting chops.
Cruz will play the sister of murdered fashion designer Gianni Versace and, fittingly, has worn the designer on many occasions, looking glamorous as one should in a Versace gown. She's got that smoky eye down pat, plus she's even gone blonde for a movie before. Granted, it was a wig, but she still looked fab.

The 42-year-old actress has starred in plenty of blockbuster hits like Pirates of the Caribbean and Vanilla Sky, and even won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
